It’s A Date…Or Is It?
A few months ago I had some friends over to my apartment. We got into some weird, slightly inappropriate conversation as per usual, but something my friend, J, said really stuck in my head. In talking about his interactions with women, he asked, when do you know if you’re on a date? Great question, J!…

Monkey See, Monkey Do
In light of all the stuff Justin Bieber has been getting into recently, I thought I’d analyze the relationship between celebrities and their die-hard fans. No, this post will not involve actual statistics or researched facts, but it will be chock full of opinions! Enjoy! As some or most of you know, Justin Bieber has…

Synergy: A Cautionary Tale
Since August of 2013, I have been going to Synergy Fitness to try and become a somewhat exercised person. I entered with a Groupon, but left with a “Jump Start” package that promised 10 personal training sessions and two free months of membership. Marcel, the manager at the time, charmed me into the “deal,” with…

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder
I just came from dinner with an old roommate. She graduated college last year and has since moved to Washington DC, a good whatever miles away from New York City where we went to school. She said that her time away from the city has made her realize just how much she truly loves the…

Less is More
That’s this year’s motto. I want to attempt to live minimally this year, at least until my birthday in May that is. In the past I feel as though I have been too much of a spendthrift. As my high school history teacher would say, I’ve been a real “shopper.” I can’t help it! Any…

Happy 5th of July!
To make everything clear, this is a reminiscent post, if you will, of last night. Thusly the title referring to today and not yesterday. Let us begin! In all of my twenty years, I don’t remember actually celebrating the 4th of July. I’ve always recognized it, of course, because it’s pretty awesome that we’re free…

It’s All About Who You Know
I’ve been hearing this for a couple of years now. Ever since I really set my heart, mind, soul, and body on the entertainment industry with all of the force of being an adult, people have been telling me that it’s all about connections-who you know and who they know. Of course talent plays a…

The Present Is A Present
As cliché as that sounds, it’s true. If you think about it, every moment that we’re alive is almost a miracle, every breath we take is a blessing, and sometimes we waste this time planning for our futures or thinking about the past. Some of us daydream, some of us reminisce, but how many of…

Art Imitates Life
Last night, I was thinking about the different ways people come upon their husband/wife. It’s either love at first sight, a friendship that evolves, or whatever else there is. In thinking about this, I couldn’t help but see how perfectly the main characters of How I Met Your Mother exhibit each path. For those of you who…
